Ultra Pasteurized, 64 oz
Ultra pasteurized, pasture-raised organic milk contains all the fresh, wholesome goodness you expect from Organic Valley.
What do we mean by “Pasture-Raised”?
All Organic Valley dairy farms are pasture-based, meaning the major portion of the cows’ diet comes from pasture. Since grazing is a bedrock principle of our organic farming system and philosophy, we long ago created a strict pasture policy, which we are proud to say was the model for a supplemental federal rule in the USDA’s National Organic Standards. We believe that when cows eat well, you do too! Learn more about the nutritional qualities of pasture-raised milk.
Organic Valley pasture-raised milk is homogenized and ultra pasteurized—a modern flash-heating and cooling technology that keeps milk fresh, safe and nutritious for a longer time than does traditional pasteurization. This delicious milk is available in your local dairy aisle in quarts and half gallons.

No worries, Stacey! At this time, I'm unaware of any plans to discontinue our liter of aseptic whole milk without add Vitamin D. Thank you very much for your feedback. I've happily forwarded all of your comments onto our product. Cheers!
Hi Natalie - That transition should be complete by the end of May, although we will still be offering our liter sized aseptic whole milk without added vitamin D.
While freezing products for preservation is a good idea, we don't recommend it for our fluid milk as it changes its texture/consistency. However, if you choose to do so, be sure to re-package it as our cartons are not designed to be frozen and may leak the seams.
Thank you for your feedback, Jane! We are now adding Vitamin D to both our traditionally pasteurized and ultra pasteurized whole milk. However, we still offer our shelf-stable liters of aseptic (UHT) whole milk without added Vitamin D along with our Nonfat Dry Milk Powder.
Thanks for the note, no2corn! Our Vitamin D is made by processing a sterol derived from Lanolin (sheep wool). However, it's important to note that there is an emulsifier used as an ingredient in our vitamins which is derived from corn.
We still offer our shelf-stable liter of aseptic (UHT) whole milk without added Vitamin D along with our Nonfat Dry Milk Powder. The easiest way to know if your OV milk contains added vitamins is to check the ingredient label as they will all be listed on there.
Could you tell me what I bought? It doesn't seem like it's the new grass milk. Nor does it fit anywhere under Whole Milk.
Hi Vera - Great question! What you have described sounds like our traditional line of whole milk (not out Grassmilk™). The recent changes we've made to our milk cartons are the differences you're referring to. They highlight that all of our farmers practice pasture-based production by stating "Pasture-Raised" on them!
What makes our Grassmilk™ different is that it comes from cows that are 100% grass-fed. Cows that produce our other milk may receive supplemental grains/legumes. Two other things that make our Grassmilk™ unique is that it is non-homogenized and comes from northern California's Humboldt County.
Thanks, Jain! I would like to note, in the near future, we will be adding vitamin D to all of our fluid whole milk products, both traditionally pasteurized and ultra pasteurized. To confirm that your milk is, or is not, fortified with vitamin D, always check the carton label. Thanks!
Hi Anastasia - Thank you so much for your very kind words! We're thrilled to hear how much you and your family enjoy our delicious, organic milk! Please note, in the near future, we will be adding vitamin D to all of our fluid whole milk products, both traditionally pasteurized and ultra pasteurized. To confirm that your whole milk is, or is not, fortified with vitamin D, always check your carton labeling!
Thanks for your great product!
Hi Mario,
Thanks for the great feedback! I'll be sure to pass your suggestion along to our product team.
As a courtesy to our consumers, we do add vitamins to *some* of our whole milks. We have requests both to have them added and to not add them to the whole milk.
Our whole milk with added vitamins is primarily found in the HTST, or regularly pasteurized milk. The ultra pasteurized (UP) whole milk is not fortified with vitamins, with one exception. One ultra pasteurized milk plant does add vitamin D to the whole milk (plant #51-4109). To confirm that your Organic Valley milk product is not fortified with vitamin D, always check the carton label.
